Intro:

Cm
 Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
      Em
Wooh, ooh...

Verse 1:

Em
 Flying high in the friendly sky,
Flying high,
Without ever leavin' the ground, no.
Rest of the folks are tired and weary,
Oh Lord,
And have laidbtheir bodies down.

Em
 I go the place,
Where danger awaits me,
Bm
 And it's bound to forsake me.
Em
 So stupid minded,
F#m7
 I can't help it.
Oh yah, so stupid minded,
Am
 But I go crazy,
       Em
When I can't find it,

Chorus 1:

D
 In the morning,
A
 I'll be alright, my friend.
Dmaj7
 But soon the night,
Bm              F#m7
 Will bring the pains,
The pain, oh the pain.

Verse 2:

Em
 Flying high in the friendly sky,
Flying high,
Without ever leavin' the ground.
And I ain't seen,
Nothing but trouble baby,
Nobody really understands, no no.

Em
 And I go to the place,
Where the good feelin',
  Bm
A-waits me,
Selfdestruction in my hand.
Oh Lord,
Em         F#m7
 So stupid minded
Am
 Oh and I go crazy,
       Em
When I can't find it.

Chorus 2:

D
 Well I know,
    A
I'm hooked my friend,
Dmaj7        Bm
 To the boy,
Who makes slaves,
F#m7
 Out of men.
Em
 And oh believe me...

Coda:

Em
 Flying high in a friendly sky,
Oh baby, flyin' high.

(Fade)
